The iconic Fido to go! canine treat truck first appeared in Chicago more than a decade ago and now it's charting a new route across the United States. Featuring wholesome treats for dogs made with US-sourced ingredients, the dog treat truck shares snacks that are gluten-free and grain-free. There are all-natural cookies, frozen yogurts and PupCups to indulge pets in a fun and healthy way.
The free-from snacks are also made without corn, eggs, soy and sugar, so that a wide range of dogs can be treated, especially if they are sensitive to certain ingredients. The truck will be making its way to parks, beaches, festivals and neighborhoods, sharing a taste of natural and organic treats that are as nourishing as they are sensitive to canine allergies.
